"Things never seem half so nice without you, Marj!" Marjorie smiled gratefully; Doris Sands not only said pleasant things, but one knew that she meant them. It was too bad that the class constitution prohibited a girl's re-election as president. The sophomore class could never find anyone else so tactful, so universally popular as Doris, Marjorie thought. "Thanks, Doris," she said.
Marj needn't have squealed like a cat, though, and given it all away." "'If this is the way you're going to do, I wish we'd left you at home," quoted Allie majestically, as she surveyed the dripping boy before her. "I think Charlie has his spectacles in his pocket, Grant, if you'd like to borrow them." However, this ended the frolic of the evening, for Mrs.
Oh, say, Marj, wasn't Ruth the surprised girl when she heard I got it? I couldn't help watching her face, and I nearly died!" Marjorie, too, had enjoyed the situation immensely; for while she usually disliked seeing anyone disappointed, Ruth had been so over-confident, and so scornful of Lily the preceding year, that she could not help being glad of the outcome. Then, a sudden thought struck her.
I can't tell you why " "Oh, please don't worry, Marj!" begged the younger girl. "Nobody would take it!" They went to Marjorie's room, and discussed the occurrence over and over. Alice stayed until half-past five, when Lily came back from tennis. "Too dark to play!" cried Lily as she threw open the door. "Heavens, why sit in darkness?"
"She made a marvelous map at camp," commented Lily. "I wonder what is keeping her back?" "Signaling, I think. I say, Lil, couldn't we just make her practice till she passes? We have two weeks yet!" "Great idea, Marj!" agreed her room-mate; and the two girls hurried off that very minute to put the plan into action.
From out the swift tide a figure without an overcoat, and a cap vizor pulled well down over his eyes, locked her arm from the rear, so that she sprang about, releasing herself. "For God's sake, Blink, cut the pussy-foot tread, will you? I've jabbed with a hat-pin for less than that." "Merry Christmas, Marj." "Yes, I'm merry as a crutch. What brought you around, Blink?"
All I got to do is to think of you and those big black eyes of yours shining, and I could lead a water-wagon parade." "It's the habits, Blink, you got to watch most. For a minute to-night you looked like coke and and it scared me. Don't let the coke get you, Blink. For God's sake, don't!" "I sent her a fiver, Marj, and a black silk, and a doll with real hair for the kid.
Gee!" "I didn't mean it, Marj. It slipped. S'help me, I didn't. Sometimes I just don't know what I'm saying, Marj; that's how my mind kinda gets sometimes. All fuzzed over like." "What's the odds what you say, Blink? You're just not man-size, I guess." She was a bleak little figure bowing into the wind, her tippet flapping back over one shoulder.
"Miss Phillips wants you!" "She does! What for?" This, eagerly. "Oh, I don't know hockey, or something, I guess!" The look of happiness died from Marjorie's face. She seemed tremendously disappointed. Lily looked at her questioningly; heretofore, the girl had always been delighted to be summoned by her favorite teacher, for no matter what purpose. "What's the matter, Marj?"
Although she had not mentioned Frieda Hammer, she suddenly remarked, "Wasn't it dreadful about Marj's canoe?" "Yes," replied Jack; "who do you suppose stole it?" "Don't you know?" exclaimed Ruth. "Why, that thief our Scout troop adopted to reform. But it serves Marj right! She was the strongest one for doing it."
